There is So Much To Do in Hollywood, California

There is so much to see here in Los Angeles and our area’s near-perfect weather makes getting out and about that much more fun.

It features a theme park, multi-screen theatre, working film studio and CityWalk®, where you’ll find great shopping and wonderful restaurants.

The Hollywood Sign

If one attraction in particular represents the lore and mystique of Tinseltown, it is the giant Hollywood sign that overlooks the area from its perch in the rolling hills north of town. The sign, which was first erected in 1923, features 45-foot letters and has been restored to its original grandeur after falling into disrepair in the 1970s. You can view the famed sign from our hotel, which sits just southwest of the Hollywood Hills.More info
